TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) programs are federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from various backgrounds.

Our Mission

The University of Saint Francis TRIO SSS program provides multiple academic support services to students who are low income, Pell Grant eligible and/or first generation college students, enabling them to persist and graduate from USF.

The TRIO SSS program is 100 percent federally funded by the U.S. Department of Education at $202,000 annually to serve 140 students, with in-kind contributions from USF.
